I Heart Art.

Tarrawarra art museum.


Yesterday I went to the Tarrawarra art museum which is in the Yarra Valley. I was amazed by the wonderful scenery and I tried to get photos from as many angles as I could. Most of the photos I took include the structure of the museum (which is amazing as well).

The building is very abstract I might add.

Maybe now you can see why I was so blown away by the scenery and the structure of the building.

One word: awesome!

Oh and I almost forgot... when I actually went into the museum I found a Brett Whiteley painting with a very small heart on it.

A perfect end to a perfect day!

I Heart Hoot.

My new crafting project has been named Hoot. These are the photos from start to finish and all the stages in between.
This morning we decided to make a new and very cute soft toy. First step... choosing fabrics and making pattern. I have never used a sewing machine before and I thought that today would be a good day to learn. My Grandmother kindly let me sew the straight lines to start out.

 

When we had the front and back ready, I then added some rick-rack braid and lace.

I then added some crochet eyes and a little gold heart (of course).

After adding a flower button, button eyes and lace wings, we sewed the pieces together.

 

Then I had a fun time trying not to make a mess while filling her with cotton stuffing.

Many hours of work later, I finally had the finished product, Cute Hoot.

Hand sewn on her back is a lace butterfly and another gold heart.

I was very happy when Cute Hoot was finally finished and I hope you are too.

I Heart What Ken Be Done.

My friend Jackie at What Ken Be Done?  has kindly found a heart for me, and has photographed it on some awesome Ken Done fabric.

Inspired by her email I went out in search of more hearts.

Spilled piece of concrete. Woops.

The builders loved me didn't they! Cracked mud.

Lovers love wet concrete.

Finally the last heart (or should I say two hearts) was found on someones gate.

I Heart MORE Cross Stitching.

My second finished cross stitching project.

Well I finished my second cross stitching letter...YAY! It turns out that it didn't take weeks (it took one afternoon) hehehe. Well here it is my master piece (not really).

You will still have to check in the next week or so if you want to find out what the last three letters are... THEN (if you want to) you can try and figure out what my name is. Don't get your hopes too high though.

I Heart Cross Stitching.

My newest hobby...Cross Stitching.

 

Lately I have been getting more into craft like knitting, toy making and cross stitching. After finding some very small but cute frames in Asburton Op Shop I was inspired to look through some pattern books (also from an op Shop) and find a nice pattern for me to stitch. I was particularly looking for heart patterns and I succeeded.

I then decided that it would be fun if I cross stitched all 5 initials of my real life name.

You will have to check in the next few weeks to see the rest.

I Heart The City.

Melbourne City.

Eight hearts again! Wow I certainly am doing well for finding hearts! First stop for today was the luscious Lush, a store filled with all kinds of soaps and hand creams. Firstly I found some heart shaped bath bombs.

The second find for today looked like it was from Vegas but it wasn't...

However it did come in this awesome wrapping paper!

Well if you love hearts why don't you try walking in them!

Now I don't know which you like better...chocolates or hearts...but... you can have both!

That also applies if you like cupcakes too.

Yum.
Hearts are here hearts are there hearts are everywhere especially at Kiki.K!

Spot the Hearts.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring? But whatever it is I will definitely be playing Spot The Hearts.

I Heart Op Shops.

Op Shops around Melbourne.

I found eight hearts today (Well one isn't a heart but it is something pretty funny) in Op Shops around Melbourne. The first one I found was some bath soap.

My second find today was a very romantic candle.

The third heart I found today was a heart shaped box hidden in the corner of a bookshelf.

The fourth one for today was a heart that told the time.

Fifth for today was probably made by someone who wanted to frame their heart.

The sixth one I found was an old bottle of perfume that was made from the heart.

The seventh one I found wasn't really a heart but it did break my heart.

Final one for today wasn't in an Op Shop, but instead in a cafe that I went to to take a break.

That's it for today! My adventures today definitely were successful! Tomorrow there will be more to come but that's it for now! Remember to check tomorrow for more heart full adventures.
